Let's continue our 2023 look back at the batters who posted the best skills during the prior month.
These were the most skilled hitters during May (min 30 AB):
Here is a closer look at several skilled batters in each league whose top May skills or skill components should warrant your attention.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Akil Baddoo (OF, DET) had a really good May that you might not have noticed: .294 BA, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 3 SB, and .878 OPS in 68 AB. His plate skills were even better (14% bb%, 84% ct%, 1.00 Eye).
